Science Camps

Secret Agent Lab: Funky Forensics!

July 23-27, 20181:30 pm to 4:30 pm Look out 007- the Mad Science Secret Agent Lab is in session! From decoding messages to experimenting with metal detectors and night vision, children will have the opportunity to check out spy equipment and step into the shoes of a detective! Children will uncover the science involved in gathering and analyzing evidence and the technology behind locks, surveillance systems and alarms. To test the limits of magnified observation, junior science sleuths will build their own binoculars and develop ways to work together to refine their observation skills. Campers will use what they have learned as they find, collect, and analyze evidence and connect the dots to solve a simulated crime scene!

Mad Machines & Rockin' Rockets!

August 13-17, 2018 9:30 am to 12:30 pm Mini Mad Scientists will delve into a multitude of scientific subjects as they learn about the Earth and its animal inhabitants, simple machines, rocketry and flight, and chemical reactions; there’s something for everyone! Children will investigate the layers of the Earth and explore how various forces combine to create rocks and minerals. They’ll also build and race a car to learn about physics and construct a rocket to investigate the wonders of flight and aerodynamics and take both projects home to continue the fun! Campers will also create animal tracks out of Plaster of Paris and have creepy-crawly fun building a bug house used to search for new tenants! The Mad Scientist will astound the children as they witness remarkable color changes, experiment with acids and bases, and grow their very own crystal gardens to take home!
